from my understanding there is always an unavoidable element of death involved in martyrdom,
she calls me a martyr so frequently am beginning to take offence

Do you think I am in a coma and dreaming of a wretched world, and when I die, I will actually awake in the real world, which is far more tolerable?

We are humans, and more than likely the complete history of how things have happened has been changed to the point where the truth was lost long ago. You know, when you whisper something into one person's ear and they continue to whisper to the next person and by the time last person gets the message, it's all discombobulated (always wanted to say that word).

I'm refering to the deceptions and lies carried out by the powers that be, those few who are the cause of all these problems you are so naively attempting to confront. I understand strength in numbers but why not tell people the truth, that is if you know the truth. Otherwise please do not waste our time when we need to save ourselves first here at home. I'm not talking about poverty and disease but the human condition we face in these times of preparation for the end of this era in our existence!!!

I am linking to it to make sure everybody has a chance to voice their complaints to the yahoo staff--please remember, nothing has ever been solved by inaction--answering one more question this evening is not so much to ask--or even give it a thumbs up--join us and be part of the solution!

We are always being bombarded by people demanding the "truth," saying "the truth will set you free."
But what is truth?
Is it relative?
How would you define truth?

Specifically, I mean that one question which started the thirst, the need to "know", the question which you feel perhaps changed the outcome of your life.

The whole issue of "getting a life" has always perplexed me. Where does one find a life? How does one know if when they've successfully gotten one?

What are you, intelligent, creative, an individual, a follower?

Some schools of thought go as far as that thinking and enquiry should never stop but be a continuous process.

Universally or Otherwise, will you consider investigation and revelation of fact and truth necessary before all other considerations ?


Illustrations or examples are appreciated in supporting your position, from the Philosophical perspective.
Ambiguity is seldom purposeful. Thank you.

"Briefly put, the conception is that mind is the one ultimate reality; not mind as we know it in the complex forms of conscious feeling and thought, but the simpler elements out of which thought and feeling are built up. The hypothetical ultimate element of mind, or atom of mind-stuff, precisely corresponds to the hypothetical atom of matter, being the ultimate fact of which the material atom is the phenomenon. Matter and the sensible universe are the relations between particular organisms, that is, mind organized into consciousness, and the rest of the world. This leads to results which would in a loose and popular sense be called materialist. But the theory must, as a metaphysical theory, be reckoned on the idealist side. To speak technically, it is an idealist monism

This has boggled many great philosophers I think, and that is why it hasn't been tackled recently for fear of failure. I have to say it has given me many a sleepless nights, so I was hoping to turn it to the Yahoo! community to see how you could possibly answer this question.
